The Bond 1786 encompasses several buildings on a beautiful oasis in the center of Warrensburg. Originally known as the Griffin House, the first building on the property was a Greek-revival-style farmhouse built around 1835. After that, the owners erected several expansions, additions and owners.
Long-time Lake George area visitors may remember it as the Merrill Magee House when it was converted into a restaurant and inn in the 1980s. In 1985 the property was named to the National Register of Historic Places.
After another succession of owners, the current incarnation is named after Warrensburg’s first settler, William Bond. The restaurant and tavern occupy what remains of the original farmhouse, and a 10-room inn added in the 1980s accommodates overnight guests.
Each room is individually and tastefully decorated. Amenities include high-quality linens, LCD flat-panel TV, free wifi, central and individual air conditioning, private en suite bathrooms, and a mini-fridge and freezer in every room.
A continental-style breakfast is offered daily in the Inn’s sunroom featuring assorted pastries, coffee, tea and seasonal fruit.
Surrounded by beautiful gardens, the Inn at The Bond 1786 is a delightful place to stay outside of the hubbub of Lake George Village but central to all the pursuits the area offers. Nearby are rafting adventures on the Hudson River, plenty of hiking and biking trails, horseback riding, alpine and x-country skiing, shopping and antiquing, to name just a few of the available activities. In addition to the restaurant and tavern at The Bond, Warrensburg and nearby towns offer a wide variety of dining options.
